The multi-award winning company behind the brand, GAIA Skin Naturals, was the brainchild of Michelle Vogrinec, who, after trying to find natural skincare to soothe and nourish her first-born's severe eczema, turned necessity into the 'mother of invention' by producing her own herbal concoctions on her stove-top.
Five short years later, GAIA Natural Baby skin and hair care products are available nationally through Coles supermarkets, Priceline, baby stores, chemists and health food shops, and is achieving export success in over 13 countries across Europe, Asia and the US.
Former 'Australian Micro Business Woman of the Year', Michelle, explains her meteoric rise to success as simply 'meeting the needs of people she cares about, and trying to live a natural, organic-based lifestyle'.
"Just like me, parents are looking for a readily-available and affordable natural alternative that will not only gently care for their baby's delicate skin, but is also kind to the environment.
These days, bath water needs to be recyclable and people are demanding products suitable for use in grey-water systems.
All GAIA products are free from soaps, sulphates and phosphates - just containing natural and organic ingredients known for their skin-nurturing properties.
